So several months ago we thought having two trucks would be cool. Yea, it got old quick. Loading groceries or the like was an interesting task. Also had been tracing vibration and metallic grinding noises since I bought the 2014 Tacoma. So, enough was enough and I started searching for something else...
Was looking at some new VW Tiguan's and what options I could order. Just didn't work out with our budget. Seen a 2018 Subaru Outback base model at a Subaru dealer near me and went to check it out. Luck would have it, it was sold and being transferred to another store. Walked around their used lot a little bit (had about 170 used vehicles in stock) and didn't see anything that really interested us. Sales guy told us to look at the lot of cars that just came in or waiting to go on the lot. Luck would have it they had a '19 Outback 2.5i Premium that had just gotten out of recon/certification. Sold!
Has almost 61K miles on it, but appears to be well taken care of and has a decent service record. Being a "certified" used it does have a 7y/100K powertrain warranty so that's nice. There's way too many little gadgets on this thing I have to learn. All the owners manuals and supplement packets looks like a darn encyclopedia!
The 2.5 engine has decent power, nothing crazy, but powers the wagon along pretty good. I honestly don't hate the CVT. I was kinda reserved on it, but the fake shift points make it tolerable. It rides and handles nice enough for me. I took it through some curvy and hilly roads on the test drive and it did fine. This is our first Subaru, so I hope it will be a good vehicle.
So, I'm done with buying and trading vehicles for a while!
Without further ado...
Dealer was changing their computer system so they couldn't complete all paperwork needed, so they sent us home with a dealer tag for a couple days till their system comes online. That's why you see a Maryland tag on it when I live in PA.
